    Never been to either but the Decatur event looks like it'd be interesting.

    Pate is not Pate since it moved, I always went before it moved. I'll occassionally go to the Arlington ones.

    With Houston being the largest city in Texas, why is everything up near Dallas? Does anything go on down here? I used to go to college in Wichita Falls, and passed through Decatur, and that is a long drive. HAVE to spend the weekend for this.

    Is it worth the drive? The picture shows a pretty good number of vendors. What kinds of things could I expect to find for my project?

    Also, it this the kind of place where you bring your car on a trailer, show it off, and try to find parts to interchange? OR more like a flea-market where you just buy from vendors.

    I used to do swap meets in Los Angeles, but they were every weekend, where you could buy rims, arts and crafts, and any other household item you might need. These sound a bit different. I am interested, and the weekend might be good for me.
